What TradeZella does well
TradeZella is the most polished modern journal aimed at US day traders. The UI feels current, the calendar-style P&L view is distinctive, and the broker integrations for TD/ToS, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, and similar US platforms are well-maintained. Its mentor-mode and community sharing features have grown into a real differentiator.
For a US equities or futures day trader who wants a clean modern alternative to the legacy journals, TradeZella is one of the strongest options on the market.
What PerpLog does that TradeZella doesn't
- Hyperliquid integration via API. Trades placed through PerpLog journal themselves automatically. TradeZella requires manual CSV import for any DEX trade.
- Trade execution. Position sizer + bracket orders + Pyramid Entries + server-side trailing stops. TradeZella is journal-only.
- 24/7 design.Crypto markets never close. PerpLog's session logic, server-side stops, and behavioral alerts (tilt detection across overnight trading) are built for that. TradeZella's session model assumes US market hours.
- Adaptive Sizing.Quarter-Kelly engine that prescribes risk per trade based on your segmented stats. Different problem from TradeZella's journaling-only scope.
When PerpLog wins
You trade Hyperliquid perpetuals and want sizing/execution/journaling in one tool optimized for 24/7 crypto markets. The behavioral alerts, server-side trailing stops, and Adaptive Sizing engine all assume continuous market access in ways US-equity-focused tools don't.
When TradeZella wins
You day trade US equities or futures and want a modern, polished journal with strong broker integrations and an active community. TradeZella's UI and feature cadence match what serious US day traders expect.
The bottom line
These products solve different problems. PerpLog is the Hyperliquid-native equivalent of what TradeZella offers US equities traders — a modern, polished workflow built specifically for one market. Pick the tool that matches the market you trade.

Frequently asked questions
Should I use PerpLog or TradeZella for crypto?
PerpLog is purpose-built for Hyperliquid; TradeZella focuses on US equities and futures. If you trade Hyperliquid perps, PerpLog auto-journals through native API integration. If you trade US equities or futures, TradeZella is one of the most polished options on the market.
Does TradeZella support Hyperliquid?
No. TradeZella supports a curated list of US brokers and futures platforms (TD/ToS, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, etc.). DEX trades require manual CSV import, which is impractical for active perp trading.
Which has better UI?
Both are modern web-native journals. TradeZella has been polished longer and has a calendar-style P&L view that's distinctive. PerpLog's UI is built around Hyperliquid-specific workflows (position sizer, bracket orders, adaptive sizing widget) which TradeZella lacks because they don't apply to its target users.
What about pricing?
TradeZella has tiered subscriptions ($29-$49/month). PerpLog charges 0.01% per executed trade with no subscription. Whether one is cheaper depends on your trade size and frequency — high-volume perp traders often pay less with PerpLog.
Can I migrate my TradeZella history to PerpLog?
PerpLog doesn't import historical trades from other journals because all execution flows through PerpLog itself going forward. Existing TradeZella history can stay where it is — there's no overlap if you continue using both for different markets.
